    @taniwharugby I'd love the Hawke's Bay Union to sign Bailyn Sullivan. A Toala-Sullivan midfield, with Fomai and Lowe on the wings sounds awesome. If Bailyn returns home, there'll also be more hope that Zarn will eventually come home, too.

    And hopefully play Zarn at 10!

      @Crazy-Horse Only if Fakatava is in the ABs squad; if Fakatava plays for the Bay, I prefer his combo with McClutchie. The Toala-McClutchie combo works well, too.

        By the way this Canes team looks so much better going forward without Blackwell and Prinsep.

          Drua just can't hold the ball, possession must be over 85% for the Canes

                With the tape around his head he reminds me of Mike Brewer for the Baby Blacks against France.

                  Remember seeing Laubscher a couple of years ago playing for the Turbos against Counties Manukau just before his injury, looked outstanding that day as well on 18 on debut

                  Bio

                  A product of Palmerston North Boys’ High School, Tyler Laubscher signed to the Manawatū Academy in 2019, making the Under 19s squad and debuting against Bay of Plenty.

                  The South African-born loose forward impressed to earn a Turbos debut in the final round of the season – a win at home against Counties Manukau.

                  Comfortable at both blindside flanker and No 8 with his 1.94m, 104kg frame, Laubscher’s game is built on that physicality which is part of the DNA of South African footy players. He is a powerful asset in and around the ruck, and over the ball.

                    @Stargazer feels like more...

                    Isn't it good seeing players taking the ball at pace, too often we are getting players taking it passively well behind the gainline.

                      That was for both halves.
                      This is for first & second half:

                                  The big question I still think for these coaches , who is your best back 3 , for me personally in a perfect world , my loose forwards would be 7.Savea,6 Flanders 8.Laubscher…given Flanders is out
                                  I suppose you would have to stick to Blake Gibson , has actually played well this season ..

                                    @Steven-Harris I’d personally go Howden, Savea and Flanders with Iose, Laubsher, Kirifi and Gibson pushing hard. Obviously Flanders and Iose are injured so I’d like us to play Howden, Savea and Laubsher going forward.

                                        @Steven-Harris It will be interesting whether Flanders will actually stay at the Canes. His combo with Mikaele-Tu'u would be very beneficial to the Highlanders, but that will probably only happen if Frizell moves on.

                                        At the same time, Mikaele-Tu'u is also off-contract (I think, not sure). So many questions ....
